Does this JC10 have enough flow rate to purge the average residential lawn sprinkler system? I'm comparing this to the larger Makita MAC700.

No. It maxes the unit out with one framing gun. Would not recommend to purge a system

JC-10 capacity =90 PSI (2.35 CFM) w/2.5 gal tank. MAC700 capacity=90 PSI (3.3 CFM) w/2.6 gal tank. You need 40-80 PSI for a relatively brief period to blow out the sprinkler system. So the answer is Yes. More than enough in my opinion.

Jason is my son and we bought this with his recommendation and wife's INSISTENCE (sp?). Ours also replaced a builders low end model; piping did not match but a plumber was able to adjust the existing drain piping in 10 minutes! We very much like this disposal - - have had it about 6 months and STILL very quiet. Can't answer the one for one part. Good luck.

How large a sprinkler are you running? The orifice the water flows through is fairly small. This is better suited to drip or microspray setups.

I have 3 zones with 15 heads per zone with regular rain bird nozzles --not water saving--and it works great. Lost of pressure--this is a great pump My lawn sprinkler guy said that you needed a 2 hp with 80+pounds of pressure to make work with large head count.

We have no problems -I got this for my spouse to make it easier with 100' of hose and it works good. However here is a tip lazy people expect it to do all the work and walk away from it, and it gets caught up or kinks the hose etc. Just do not let you trigger nozzle drag in the grass. and it will wind up quickly.

I have no idea. Mine leaked almost from day 1 and we just have regular suburban water pressure. It's not even that strong actually, compared to other neighborhoods.

Yes, it is great for 5ft x20 ft and small areas. I miss the timer my old sprinkler had on it.. I like my dramm nozzles too. I have used mine to water a smaller area and was happy.

Thomas: I am not sure. I have never thought about using the pump to water the lawn. It is a pretty powerful pump. It pulled about 4 ft of water out of my basement crawl space in about 25 minutes. Hope this helps.

It is more than enough. I have never experienced a water conditioning / filtering system that was better. I do almost nothing to the pool and it is pristeen and clean all the time. I wondered if the run time from the spec was enough, but it proved to be more than adaquate. Hope this helps.

With city water I would think you should get closer to 10 gpm. We are running 6 with #3 nozzles with only 5gpm. We have plenty of pressure with that.

I believe it comes down to the flow. I believe the flow of this filter is 30 gallons per minute. Double check that value, but it should not be a problem. FYI: I use it on a 50 h.p. 2 stroke and the added insurance of a water seperator allows me to go furthet out than I probably should. Besides, its a Racor!

I wouldnt use it for that since you have to mow the lawn, right? Also, the drip stays right by the hose so it wont dispurse much further than the actual hose.

It will suck up a bit of sludge, but I would recommend, for longevity purpose, to try and avoid that situation. The more water in the mixture, the better results. Cleaning the pump area afterwards is recommended. The pump comes with a netting, so leaves wont pass through. I wouldn't suck up leaves, the pump chamber would most likely seize.

I noticed none. I ran several sprinklers for a large yard through a single unit, and of course there was some, but no different than without the unit. Running one through the unit, absolutely no drop.

Yes No Problem.. I used a 3/8 air gun and it doesn't faze it. Also it doesn't run all the time. I can blow myself off with the air hose with out it coming on and whe it does, It's run time is short. I'm used to 60-120 gallons.. This thing really surprises me..

I bought one and it's built the same as all the other I've had in the past. The spring that makes the head rotate is the weakest point on these type of sprinklers. So far mine is holding up. I douse them in WD 40 before every use but I'm using well water which is gyppy and very hard. I like and recommend them.

Greetings; As far as I could figure, the flow rate was NOT adjustable at all. Attaching the different little spray nozzles is really the only "adjustment" available on this unit. We enjoyed it and were very disappointed when it didn't even last the summer. Hope you have better luck if you purchase!!
